Invincea wasn’t immediately able to comment on the “Digital Battlefield Understanding Study and proof-of-concept demonstration” that it intends to produce for Darpa. But a military document justifying Invincea’s sole-source contract notes that the company submitted an “unsolicited proposal” for the project on June 26.

Today it was reported that 70% of Obama’s Twitter followers were fake. It seems in vogue for the Politicians and the Military to “deceive” with fake accounts. Trouble is, the general public can detect such shills at 10 paces…

There is a situation here – where the USAF could get exposed by Russian hackers, and suffer a backlash from US citizens… the same is true for the UK. The public are more aware of corruption today than ever before, and we might be listening carefully to Putin.

When Russian or Chinese hackers or TV stations expose fraud in the US, then they are acting for the greater good.

Thomas Jefferson said an “informed public” was critical for society, and it’s interesting that when our governments lie to us, so called “enemy states” become the best friends to an informed democracy.
